Going to be VERY interesting to see what Savini says about the film. When I've heard him speak about it, he's sounded a touch bitter about his treatment. eg: He wasn't even present at times while the film was being edited etc.

There was also talk about large amounts of money disappearing from the budget!

I agree, someone (not Lee naturally) should ask him the tough questions. He was more than willing to talk to Deadpit about it.

Don't suppose any of the Philly crowd will attend with a video camera for the Q&A session?

I wanted to thank Eric for posting the flyer for me. I was having a problem posting it and he was nice enough to post it on here for me. Thanks!
The flyer was created by Chris "The Greek" Stavrakis and he did a great job. I've asked Chris to be the emcee, for lack of a better word, for the evening. Chris actually worked on the film for a short period of time for the makeup fx team, Optic Nerve. But I'll let him tell that story of what happened. :sneaky:

That dude did a great commentary with Savini on the euro Dawn dvd. Quite possibly my fave GAR film commentary of all time...

When the extended version (139 min minus 2 seconds of cuts) was first released in the UK, it only had a stills gallery and a commentary (boo!). The commentary was a Euro exclusive by Tom Savini and Chris Stavrakis and is the best of the Dawn audios in my opinion. The pair of 'em approach it from the fanboys point of view and are often geeky (ie: when Roger lights up a smoke in the movie, Tom says "ah, let's have a cigarette with Scottie - but only if you got a zippo!"). I think this edition has now been deleted but the UK trilogy box set is still available and contains the commentary. Funny thing is, the extended version has since been restored and it still has Tom and Chris discussing the cuts and mocking them. Hehe. :lol:

Moi. Could anyone possibly do the same for the UK Day of the Dead commentary with KNB?

Cheeky b*stard :) Certainly not at the moment - Up to the eyebrows in various things (including nappies)... Remind me in a few months.

ps: Which version are we talking about? (ie: Have I got it!)

The man obviously means the recent UK 2-disc 'special' edition of Day (not that a 39 minute bonus disc is really all that 'special'). The KNB commentary is okay, nothing special though.

Just wanted to say thanks to anyone who was able to make it out for the weekend. We had exactly 100 people who showed up over the weekend and I hope that everyone had fun. Tom was very honest and entertaining during the Q&A. He also gave us some juicy tidbits regarding "Grindhouse".
Again, thanks to any HPOTD members who made it out.

Sure. He went into detail about how he gets killed in the movie, starting with his fingers being bitten off by a zombie. He also mentioned Quentin Tarantino getting his eyeball poked out by Rose McGowan with her peg leg when he tries to rape her. He said, and I quote, that the movie is "so gross, you won't believe it".
I actually called Greg Nicotero Friday night because he is coming to Pittsburgh to shoot an R.L. Stine movie, to ask him about that. He was on the set of "Grindhouse" and told me that he was standing right next to Kurt Russell. He lives the coolest life man. Hanging with Snake Plissken! I'm jealous.

God I wish it was Ed Harris in the new "I Am Legend"...

...just maybe a little bit younger.

I'd actually prefer a sock puppet to who they did finally cast. I guess I'll just have to wait another 35 years for the next adaptation.

If Kurt Russell was ever to star in I Am Legend then it has to be from his Snake Plissken days but (obviously) that is impossible now. As for the baddie (can't remember his name) it can only be Gary Oldman.

Nope he'd be fine now...

Ed Harris is also a fine selection!

We don't need a young man, we need a world wise older man completely out of his depth... Think Heston in The Omega Man!

I didn't see anyone say who is preferable to a sock puppet on imbd...
Will Smith?!?!?
Vincent Price
Charlton Heston
Will Smith!?!?!?!

I gotta admit, the prospect of Will Smith playing the lead in I Am Legend is about as inviting as a pool party at Michael Barrymore's.

At least he doesn't say "hell Yeah" at every opportunity.
